The Legendary B.B. Blue Club sits at the back of the one of most classic hotel Mirage is greatly honored by many visitors. The stage it self has the most classic southern jazzy look to it, just like Legend used to play it on.
The music played by the PJ Barth does not lived to the standard of B.B. King on the night I visited. The band is very skilled but somehow lacks charisma.
The restaurant offers comforting southern food which basically means that everything is fried. (Especially at the late night menu). I was drawn to this place by a Review I saw on the airplane naming its appetizer fried pickle “Epic” and recommended the sampler.
The fried pickle as you can see in the picture above is an interesting experience. Sourly with the texture of a potato chips in combination with the rich ranch sauce makes it a wonderful drinking treat. But it is hard for people who are not used to eating pickles to take on a whole basket of it. (Unless you are very drunk). I would recommended just get the sampler and have a few pieces of it and be sure you are accustomed to it.
The other two dishes I had are B.B.Q wings and the Prawns. Though they claimed the southern styled food are packed with spices all over the world. I really didn’t feel the Zing from it.
The drink menu is really limited in the restaurant as well. You have a option to ordered an 22 oz beer and bring home the glass. It’s a little bit pricy but at least the glass has a very classic B.B. King logo on it. I actually really like it.
Food: 18/30
Interior: 18/30
Price: $30
(based on late night menu only)
Notes: Not recommended as a great late night eaters.
